Awesome Mens Moccasins

I've been wanting to design some men's moccasins for a while and am so pleased I finally did! I love how these turned out. The slippers are made in 2 pieces - sole/upper and the toe/tongue. Features decorative whip stitching at the toe and tie that threads around the ankle for a great fit...just like real moccasins!
The pattern is available on Etsy and Ravelry.

Crocheted Peasant Top

I haven't posted in a while on this blog, but I've been very busy with new designs and just life in general. We are expecting our 3rd child in about 8 weeks' time, so things will surely be getting busier!

 

Here is a look at my very latest design: Crocheted Peasant Top
The pattern includes sizes newborn to 12 years.
Stop by my Etsy shop to see what else is new as I've added many new patterns in the past few weeks!
